The Citroën ZX, a revolutionary sedan

Launched in October 1990 , the Citroën ZX marked a break in the French manufacturer's construction philosophy. Developed in collaboration with Peugeot on the PSA group's shared platform, it was intended to be more rational than its predecessors while retaining certain Citroën specificities.

The Volcane version was the top of the range, offering a 122-hp 1.9i engine and generous equipment for the time. Its Bertone design was distinguished by its taut, modern lines, breaking with the sometimes controversial aesthetics of previous Citroën models.

Commercially, the ZX was an immediate success , quickly becoming one of the best-selling vehicles in France and contributing significantly to Citroën's commercial recovery in the early 1990s.

Citroën at the turn of the 90s

At the time of the ZX's launch, Citroën was going through a period of profound change . After years marked by bold but sometimes poorly understood technical innovations, the brand with the chevrons was seeking to regain a certain technical orthodoxy while preserving its identity.

This strategy was part of the PSA group's policy, which sought to streamline its ranges while allowing each brand to retain its own personality. The ZX perfectly embodied this approach, combining mechanical reliability and stylistic originality, foreshadowing the rebirth of Citroën that would culminate a few years later with the revolutionary Xantia.
